TDI Nitrox

TDI Nitrox Course Dive Subculture Technical

The TDI Nitrox course at Dive Subculture Technical is tailored for divers who want to enhance their underwater experience by learning to safely utilize enriched air nitrox (EANx) for recreational diving. This course covers essential skills and knowledge required to dive with nitrox, allowing for longer bottom times and reduced nitrogen absorption.

Participants will explore the benefits and limitations of using nitrox, including understanding oxygen exposure, gas planning, and proper mixing techniques. The course emphasizes safety protocols, enabling divers to manage their gas supplies effectively and minimize the risks associated with higher oxygen levels.

The TDI Nitrox course includes a combination of theoretical instruction, confined water training, and practical open water dives. Students will engage in comprehensive dive planning exercises, learn how to analyze nitrox mixtures, and practice handling equipment configured for nitrox use.

This course serves as a vital stepping stone for divers aiming to expand their skills and dive deeper into the realm of technical diving. With a focus on safety, knowledge, and proficiency, graduates are well-prepared to pursue further training, including courses like Advanced Nitrox or Trimix diving.
